I still don't understand why this unit is ever an issue. Ostheer can build mortars and snipers out of T1, both of which are hard counters to the DHSK.
The DHSK has 2x the DPS of a maxim but the same HP and 150% the price. It's a situational unit, at best.
It's hard to see how anyone might find this mediocre unit too powerful as a Soviet unit. If the Ostheer had it, then I could see why it would be OP since soviet teching is more rigid.
Few, if any, of the "pro" soviet players are using this unit. If something is OP, they would be all over it. |
Pretty good suggestions. |
The new MG has been pretty MEH in my experience. They have great dps, but are so easy to counter by almost everything. |
The penetration of the Pfaust is also higher because the At-Nade has a chance to hit the reararmor from the front.
That is NOT an advantage, as it also means the AT nade might hit the from when thrown from the rear. |
For the cost, the T-34/85 is still under-powered. For being a 4 cp doctrinal tank call in, it's sad that it just competes with a PIV. It should be on par with the panther in my opinion.
Are you insane? If anything, the T34-85 is a bit OVER-powered now after the huge buff. They cost about the same as a P4 but are superior is every aspect as well as have zero teching cost. It's ridiculously cost effective. |
SC2 was a lot of fun at first. I reached 1v1 Grandmaster for 2 seasons before getting bored by the meta game. There just isn't as much strategic depth as SC1. It comes down too much to pure mechanics/APM.
Terran vs Terran was quite awesome though, and my favorite. |
To reimbursemthe cost as Sov, on terms of attrition, we are talking about dozens of Gren reinforrcements just to break equal, and thats not even considering fuel.
And that is also considering Osts lack of resource income thereafter.
The numbers just dont add up. Its a huge, free, upfront, loan.
Not only that, but the TA on the field, will hurt your ass like a n angry cactus.
It bleeds YOU at almost the same rate you bleed Ost back.
I cba to crunch the actual figures of how much attrition Sov needs to cause on MP (dozens of grens was an exaggeration) + The lost income on Ost side, but its enormous vs the resource value of the TA.
You are right that it is "the most expensive unit in the game", but Sov is the one who ends up paying that bill, not only by causing attrition to Ost, but internall by how this super-unit will fuck your shit up.

This game will never be as good as vCOH unless most of the commander specific units become generally build-able units. How can you balance 10+ commanders for each faction? |
The T-34/85 has been buffed with a penetration increase from 110 to 120 along with a price cut. It, however, received a significant anti-infantry nerf.
Having used it, I find that it is significantly weaker against soft targets now and behaves much like a Panzer IV with weaker frontal armor and no 'turret top gunner'. But the bonus is now it can pen Panthers from the side.
Any changes in your strats?
No, they are actually buffed vs infantry due to the huge ROF increase. The scatter nerf is quite small. |
Looks great! |
